Gettysburg Times - Answers Needed with Benghazi Attack

Op-Ed

As a Member of the Pennsylvania National Guard for the last 33 years, I've deployed to Bosnia, Iraq, South Korea and other locations around the world. Each time, I was honored to serve alongside thousands of soldiers willing to put themselves in harm's way to defend our nation. I also was honored to serve with countless members of our diplomatic corps: civilian men and women who serve overseas to promote peace and stability in areas of vital interest to America.

On Sept. 11, 2012, terrorists attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. This was the first murder of a U.S. ambassador in nearly 35 years. Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appointed an independent Accountability Review Board (ARB) to review the events leading to the attack. Since 1988, 19 ARBs have been assigned by the State Department to investigate attacks on American diplomats and diplomatic facilities worldwide.
